Perfect timing - today promises to be a beautiful day to spend outdoors.

* It's still early, just starting to get light. I gather up a lawn blanket and a couple of pillows, kick off my sandals, and head out into the yard. The grass is cool, and lightly covered in dew. I walk slowly and let the soft blades slide between my toes. At the back of the yard, I spread out the blanket along the edge of the garden - close enough to smell the array of flowers, and hear the sounds of the various pollenators as they start their busy day. I stretch out on the blanket facing towards the east, ready to watch the sun rise through the trees.*

It's a big blanket - anyone who's also up early is welcome to come curl up and watch the sunrise with me. =]
